The Glory and the Holiness of God Vindicated

Another reason why I love gospel hip-hop. In this video we only hear the first of two stanza’s, here is the second:

We’re now in the realm of the sublime and profoundWith God at the helm it’s about to go downThe Father’s wrath precise will blast and sliceThe priceless Master Christ as a sacrificeWillingly, He’s under the curseTo be treated as if the Son was the worst scum of the earthThe scene is the craziestJesus being treated as if He is the shadiest atheistHow is it the Messiah is in the fiery pitAs if He was a wicked liar with twisted desires?The One who’s sinless and justPunished as if He was promiscuous and mischievous with vicious lustThe source of all godly pleasureTormented as if He was a foul investor or child molestorHow could He be bruised like He was a goodie two-shoeswho doesn’t think that she needs the good news?He’s perfect in love and wisdomBut He’s suffering as if He constructed the corrupt justice systemWe should mourn at the backdropJesus torn like He’s on the corner with crack rock with porn on His laptopWhat is this, kid? His gifts are infiniteBut He’s hit with licks for religious hypocritesHe’s the Light, but being treated likeHe’s the seedy type who likes to beat His wifeHe’s treated like a rapist, treated like a slandererTreated like a racist or maybe a philandererJesus being penalized like He had sin insideFilled with inner pride while committing genocideI could write for a billion years and still can’t nameAll of the sins placed on the Lamb slainBut know this: the main thing the cross demonstratedThe glory and the holiness of God vindicated

Notice the stunning artistry on display here, the rich theological soundness, and the worship it raises. Notice more so, the end to which all of the cross points to – the glory and holiness of God vindicated. Shai Linne is a pastor-poet.
